November 5 – November 11: Tomato Farm

I have had a great week here. There have been many challenges and many many rewards. I was given a new job in addition to teaching school. The last part of each of my days has me on a tomato farm pruning the plants and tilling up the soil for next year. The VIN organization is renting the farmland from a local and making use of the space to generate produce for the community and families who are willing to work the land and make money by selling what is grown.  There is a big section of land for cauliflower and rice and radish as well.  Working in the farm adds a cool element to the day.  You can never go wrong with becoming one with the dirt.
